resource for visual report design

Anyone have any links to good resources for visual design of reports? That is, making them look great. We have a request to make our reports more visually appealing. I'm not finding much help out on the interweb. This is for SSRS
2005. Thanks for any help!

Visual Studio 2010 includes new resource contention profiling features that help detect concurrency contention among threads. We walk through a profiling investigation to demonstrate how you can pinpoint and fix resource contention problems in your code.

The .NET Framework 4 makes it easier than ever to implement WCF services using WF. We'll demonstrate just how easy it is by modeling a long-running, durable and instrumented workflow based on a real-world business case without having to write any code.

This article discusses a new load test tool in Visual Studio 2005 Team System for performance and stress testing your Web sites, Web services, and other server components.

Master pages in ASP.NET 2.0 solve a problem many Web developers have been solving on their own with a variety of techniques for years - providing a single master template for an entire site. This article covers the details of master pages, discussing their usage and implementation and how they are a natural evolution of custom techniques developers are using today.

This is the second of two articles discussing the extremely rich design-time features of the .NET Framework. Part 1 discussed the basics, showing you where to start and how to extend your control implementation through attributes and interfaces, as well as their effects on the property browser, code serialization, and other controls. Part 2 continues the journey by concentrating on design-time functionality that you can implement beyond your components and controls, including TypeConverters, UITypeEditors, and Designers. It would be impossible to cover everything you can do in two short articles, which is a testament to just how all-encompassing and flexible the design-time capability of the .NET Framework is.

Visual Studio .NET provides support for designing rich features into your controls and components, allowing you to set properties, set form placement, inherit from base classes, and much more. So how does Visual Studio .NET do all this? What does the Windows Forms designer do? What's the difference between a control and a component? How does Visual Studio integrate your controls so that they can access features of the .NET Framework?In this article, the authors answer these common questions by building a clock control and taking the reader along for the ride. In building the control, hosts and containers are illustrated, the property browser is explained, debugging is discussed, and a general overview of the design-time infrastructure is presented.

Could someone share with me how to dynamically change the Report design InteractiveSize property? I want to use a radiobutton list which has two options (complete list, paginated list) which changes the height of the Report display. I wonder if I need to use the Report Parameters but how do I change and refresh to display the selected option. Thank you.

Are there some recommended settings or updates that address the performance of the Visual Studio 2010 Design Editor.
The smallest changes max CPU usage for literally minutes
Are there third party editors available?

Currently, I need to use this Microsoft Report Viewer to create several reports.
The problem I'm having is that within the Microsoft Report Viewer, there are 2 functions that I needed some coding help. The 2 functions are the print function and also the export function.
I'm connected to the local host only for this project.
Please provide some code example on these 2 functions.
Thank you so much.
